ANSA Platinum’s Asset Management is the key to success for patching, desktop security, resource management, power management, software compliance and regulatory or corporate compliance.  Without the Autonomic Asset Management workhorse, these tasks require far greater investments of time and effort.  Lacking the 100% accuracy of our Asset Management technology, your network reports could be faulty and unreliable.

ANSA Platinum’s Asset Management gives you a crystal clear, real-time snapshot of your network.

Without knowing what computers are on the network you cannot be sure that all machines have up-to-date patches.  You will not know if you can pass a software audit, or if you are non-compliant in some other area.

If you do not know what resources are on the network, how can you manage them effectively?  And if you have rogue devices on the system you will not be aware of your vulnerability to hackers.  Asset Management, along with the other components of ANSA Platinum, including Power management, Patch Management, Configuration Management, Software Distribution,  Enterprise Reporting, and Software Audit/Compliance, solve all these problems.  

Asset Manager is fast, runs in the background and reports any non-compliance or corporate policy infraction. The CIO can see granular reports on all network assets, software compliance, regulatory compliance, outdated hardware, leases, and software usage tracking.  A network manager can view the same type of information arranged in any format he or she chooses.  The depth and detail of reports can be tailored to meet the needs and permissions appropriate to the responsibilities of the viewer.  

Network resource planning is critical to keeping a network running at its best.  Asset Management collects comprehensive information about hardware and software – information that is vital for both long-time planning and reclamation.  Asset scans turn up information on computers, servers, printers, routers, switches, video controllers, sound devices, PBX systems, cameras and anything else with an IP address.  Asset Manager lets you know exactly what is on the network.
